Bangkok designer’s robbery trip to Dariba ends at IGI

New Delhi: Sitting thousands of kilometres away in Bangkok, a man plotted a sensational robbery at the wellknown bullion market here, came down to India and executed it successfully with the help of two friends on Tuesday night. However, one rash move — shooting the jeweller at a slight protest — got a huge police team after him and in less than 16 hours, the man was nabbed from IGI airport while trying to fly back.

Karan Valecha, a jewellery designer, hatched a plot rivalling crime fiction; police found that he flew to India just to commit crimes. Police are looking at his escapades and possible links with the underworld . Teams are raiding several places across the country to nab the two other hit men.

The robbery, which has sent Chandni Chowk jewellers into a tizzy, was reported at 9pm. The victim, Kanhaiya Lal, was about to close his shop on the first floor of a crowded building in Dariba Kalan. His son and a worker were helping him out.
